MAINTENANCE
7.4 CLEANING THE VEHICLE
When cleaning your Garia Golf Car, the following procedure ensures the best possible
result to attain a look close to the vehicle’s appearance when new. Most importantly,
always make sure to turn the main power switch to “OFF” before working on an elec-
tric vehicle. The combination of water and high voltage is extremely dangerous and
could be fatal.
Do not clean any part of the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner.
7.4.1 Exterior
Initially, remove the bin to avoid damage to the color or structure of the leather. Fol-
lowing, water the vehicle with running water (e.g. a garden hose) to wet the vehicle
and to wash away larger pieces of dirt, dust and similar. Avoid as much as possible
getting water on the seats and dashboard, especially around the area of electronic
switches and appliances. Although durable for small amounts of water, the interior
can be damaged when exposed to large quantities of water. Apply water mixed with
automotive shampoo (please follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding mixture
proportions and other instructions). Use a clean soft sponge or brush specifically for
automotive exterior cleaning for applying on vehicle exterior. Wash off shampoo with
running water (e.g. a garden hose) and dry vehicle with a chamois for automotive use.
7.4.2 Wheels
When using the same sponge for cleansing rims as exterior, it is strongly recommend-
ed that the exterior bodywork is cleaned before cleaning the wheels. If the cleaning
is done in reverse, the dust from the wheels can risk permanent damage by scratch-
ing the painted surface of the exterior. Wet the rims with running water. Apply rim
cleansing solution or automotive shampoo with a clean soft sponge or brush and rinse
after a short while with running water.
7.4.3 Rubber flooring
Wet the rubber with running water. Apply rubber cleansing solution or automotive
shampoo with a clean soft sponge or brush and rinse after a short while with run-
ning water. Dry surface gently with a chamois for automotive use. Allow flooring to dry
completely before usage to attain the best result. If the rubber flooring shows discol-
oration due to wear, tear and extreme weather conditions, it is recommended that an
aftermarket rubber shine solution is applied to attain ‘close-to-new’ looks.
